First Day

I know there are lots of parents going through exactly what I am today. Unfortunately that knowledge doesn’t make it any easier. Today I sent my baby off to kindergarten for the first time. I walked him to the bus stop, waved him away, and waited until I got back home to cry. It all just happens so insanely quickly. What happened to my smiley infant? Where did my crawling maniac go? Where’s that kid who can’t read every word off of anything we leave lying around? Sigh. I guess it had to happen, and I’m excited that he’s enjoying his new school. I’m just a little heartbroken that my baby is so big. Let me tell you, I have no idea how I’ll make it through his graduation one day.

But don’t worry, he made it home just fine (I swear I wasn’t ready to call the school when the bus was five minutes late… OK, maybe I had my cell phone out, but I didn’t actually do it, that has to count for something).

And when I asked him if he had a good time he said, “No Mom, I didn’t have a good time, I had an AMAZING time!”

I’m all teary-eyed (and by teary eyed I mean crying). It really truly feels like only a few months ago we were standing in your parents kitchen and then all sitting in Bec’s room hearing that we were going to have the first Petite Ya-ya! Time really has flown! I’m so happy he loves it!

I’m a Real Estate Agent. And a Mom. 47% of one and 53% of the other. I’m not telling which is which. I have a compulsive need to confess my embarrassments and failures. I love Pinot Grigio and bacon equally. If someone would just make a Pinot Grigio with Bacon top notes I would stand in line to buy it. So get on it, People. Learn more about me.
